Ketran Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hello there, I\'m new here and I\'ve downloaded the KSP demo. I\'ve been getting better at it but I have one big problem that never goes away. No matter where I place my parachute in the stages it always deploys when I activate my LV-T30. I\'ll start off fine with three RT-10s running smoothly. They\'ll decouple as expected, but then as soon as I start the next stage (I placed the parachute icon way way at the top) my parachute will deploy at the same time dragging my rocket down.Whenever I try to move my parachute to the top of the list it just jumps down when I start the game above my F logo. How do I resolve this? The parachute is literally the only thing holding me back/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Duck Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 You probably want to create a separate stage for your parachute. I think right now you are probably dragging the parachute around within a single stage, which doesn\'t actually affect when it activates. When you mouse over the staging icon list in the VAB you should see little '+' and '-' icons appear; these let you insert and delete stages. Make a new stage at the very top of the icon list and drag the parachute icon into it, and it won\'t activate until you activate that final stage with the space bar.

Ketran Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Alright thanks I\'ll give that a go, I was putting it at the very top of stage 0 with some other things. I forgot you could create your own stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
